I'm interested in writing some utility scripts for SASS to do a few simple things. Is there a way to run a command in the command line and make the window persistent? Essentially I'd like to run something along these lines: 'sass --watch $file_path:$file_path'

The reason I want to do this is because sass leaves a session open watching the directory for changes which needs to be closed through the command line. If there's a better way to do this, I'm open for ideas.

It's not something I'm planning on adding (it's very much a win32 only thing: on linux and osx sub processes are just spawned as is, without any equivalent of cmd.exe being involved), but you could make a build system that runs "cmd.exe /c start my_real_command.bat", and you'd get a stand alone window.

+1.would love to be able to send commands to that open window too. On linux. basically spawn a shell that listens to subl. Then select text, press a shortcut, and have it appear in the shell. This would be killer for ERPL. Easy to do in emacs and vim, even gedit. I think it'd be easy in subl too?
